"I wanted to," Tara replies smoothly, her eyes darting toward the Dennis brothers. "But I think I'll pass for tonight. Maybe next time."

Lucinda immediately catches her drift. Seeing the familiar, exhausting faces around them, she completely understands why Tara lost her appetite for drinks. It seems the universe just wanted to throw all the worst people into one room.

"Even if we aren't engaged anymore, I still care about you," Jake insists, his frustration boiling over. "You never used to act like this. Tara has completely corrupted you!"

He instantly regrets shifting the blame to his sister, but before he can retract his words, Lucinda fires back.

"What does Tara have to do with this? You're completely useless, so you push the blame onto your own biological sister. You have absolutely no shame!"

"I—" Jake stammers, furious and embarrassed, but he is interrupted again.

"Lucinda, you don't need to waste your breath on someone like him," the tall man beside her says smoothly. He is the eldest son of the Blue family, Lucinda's protective older brother. "Let's go home. Stay away from trash."

"Okay," Lucinda agrees sweetly. She turns back to Tara. "Let's catch up later."

"Absolutely," Tara smiles, genuinely hoping her friend escapes the Dennis family's toxic orbit.
